You would want to use this ring for bossing. Most effective bossing builds have enough damage to finish bosses within the 5 second duration.

you even couldn't sell this to a homeless person. you tired though.

evershit build can be tankier with the progenesis.

they must be good in a lightning coil build holy

Been interested in this since I realised you can use it for vaal flicker ignite, just need to solve the damage conversion (KEKW, beacon of madness).

the glassyowl hammer

Your game knowledge is unreal. These are always mind blowing!

Final fantasy 14 handled a lot of inputs really well with multiple layers of skills that you switch with triggers, I bet they already have a lot of other examples to transfer their experience and figure out best way to get their own way to handle it

It's simply located in the wrong part of the tree. if it was close to the shadow part, it would see alot more use

Thank for the video 👌👌👌

Love this video and the whole series so far, but I've got to be an arse and correct you on something: It's not pronounced glass-ial, it's glay-cial!

Looking forward to the iron mass episode! Will be a banger - just like this one 😇

Thanks for staying true to what you do best.

Fantastic. A chronicler, sage, seer... GGG should contract your services.

Best PoE video series ever. Keep going dreamcore !

How to fix this weapon without even watching the video: Remove the chaos part and make the ele conversion 100%. There, done, chase unique made. Oh is that not a chase unique? What if you double the innate stats of the weapon. Is it good enough yet? Maybe. It's still mediocre. PoE is infested with shit boss drops, this is a meme item.

great vid as always

Thanks for the shoutout! The Winds of Fate is one of those puzzle-piece uniques that make for the most satisfying builds, in my opinion. The layers of interactions needed to counteract its downside make any build that uses it a one-of-a-kind setup.

I think the biggest issue with this staff is that other uniques like Annihilating Light exist. The staff grants you a ton of damage if you jump through a bunch of hoops to counter its downsides. So does Annihilating Light. But where Annihilating Light is inherently flexible in what you can use it for (pretty much any elemental hit spell), this staff forces you into one of only a handful of niche setups. Why pigeonhole yourself like that when you can get a similar benefit from another much more straightforward weapon?

What is the build in the intro? Autobombing minions sounds dope

What about profane ground? Its rhe enemy chance to be critically striked not my chance tk critical hit Profane ground is a detrimental ground effect that reduces all resistances (including Chaos) by -10% and increases chance to be critically hit[1] by 100%[2].

Hmm. I just did some research for the hydrosphere tech. Wouldn't it be really clunky to use the staff with hydrosphere, spell echo and plume of pursuit? Hydrosphere would always crit on the final repeat, which are the pulses. However to get the hydrosphere to pulse outside of self-casting it needs to be frozen, which is impossible because no non-crits can deal damage. Therefore only casting it yourself would deal damage and only on the second repeat. Is this right or do I messed up something? Edit: btw lovely series, brings some cool ideas for fun builds :D Edit 2: nvm I just went to watch ifnjeffs build of the week and he explains in great detail how to overcome this exact problem LUL at least my initial thought wasn't wrong xD

As I know percentages are cumulative .For example 90% evade chance every 10th hit will be a guaranteed hit on you , so having lucky crit strikes should guarantee every hit or second hit to be a crit .

If you use a "prismatic" skill with focus jewels, does it affect the weapon conversion, forcing it to one type of elemental damage? Or does the weapon not care, it'll pick fire even if your skill can't deal fire damage?

These 4 month league cycles are actual aids

This series is teaching me so much about in depth mechanics and ways to solve problems.

Dreamcore with even more informative content. I love it keep it up!

This is a dream weapon to use with Yoke of Suffering. It's possible to apply 8 different ailments for "enemies take 80% increased damage", and since the ailments will be applied at 75% effectiveness, the shocks will be large as well bringing the final value to "enemies take 130% increased damage". This more than makes up for the 50% crit chance because this scales the ignite portion of the damage which persists through the elemental rotation. The average values are 25% chaos avg, 25% lightning hit avg, 25% cold hit avg, but 75% ignite avg (or 25% fire hit avg). With the large enemies take increased damage, the ignite applied by this are at 172.5% effectiveness of weapon damage. Adorned + Bloodthirst + Yoke + Life-Stack Melee Ignite would be something I would like to try with this weapon.

Rofl just when i wanted to build with it. The thing i want to try is penance brand. If the second (repeated) and not the first deals damage, you have no downside and huge explosions that ignore resistance, always crit and have that crazy added dmg. Otherwise it will be glacial hammer with cold and fire with heatshiver or the same with glacial cascade.

Won't spellblade support work in place of battlemage, thus removing the "be inquis" requirement?

Mathil gang sends his regard

I'm rocking this with Doppelganger body armour and the flawed refuge set up, feels SUPER tanky with real good damage

its also pretty rare

Mathil made a build with this and glacial hammer recently. It turned out pretty good. Worth a watch for anyone intrigued.

Is your pronunciation of glacial a regional thing?:) Love this unique for the series

Would be pretty neat unique if brittle and assassins mark type effects wouldn't be counted on that 50% crit.

I was looking for a way to make my Glacial Hammer of Shattering work and you just delivered it to me on a plate! Thanks. This series is amazing.

Over complicated the problem lies with melee's damage. When most of melee's damage comes from the weapon you have a laundry list of mediocre upsides affected by severe downsides that leaves this weapon and most melee weapons doing less damage then a level 20 fireball from 3 screens away.

I'm living all the work you do with this série of videos, good job ❤

Didn't know that Destructive Link overwrites max crit on this, I actually played a destructive link duo build for Crucible and it was so insanely good - we never even considered this weapon

This unique does sound really neat. Maybe if eblade gets nerfed or inquis gets changed around I'd consider that battlemage variant. Love the 1 echo plume idea and try to spam cast speed to "eat" the dropped first cast. Seems like an interesting budget way to get conversion + hella crit multi scaling.

This was the most interesting one by far. The hydrosphere Idea seems super fun.

Love this series!!!

Love this guy content. Great videos.

Never even seen that relic after 50 over runs 💀

It could be interesting if it had "Critical strike chance is 50%", I'd use it more as a clunky but strong stepping stone

Now i want to try it xd Excellent video

can you use this with brittle and/or assassins mark or does the increased crit chance from those also count as "your critical strike chance"?

Insanely rare in non-trade league and underperfoming in trade league. Basically forced inquisitor for spell variant(energy weapon overperfoms this unique in hundred times) and melee suffers from 50% to hit. 66% for glacier. With base 6% crit and 1.30 aps no amount of damage will be enough to be playable. And dont forget: your character should do sanctums for this. Melee sanctum enjoyer KekW.
